Canonical suppression in microscopic transport models

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate the occurrence of canonical suppression associated with the conservation of an U(1)-charge in current transport models. For this study a pion gas is simulated within two different transport approaches by incorporating inelastic and volume-limited collisions ππKKˉ\pi\pi\leftrightarrow K\bar{K} for the production of kaon pairs. Both descriptions can dynamically account for the suppression in the yields of rare strange particles in a limited box, being in full accordance with a canonical statistical description.
